On 18 August 2026, the Board of BHP determined to pay a final dividend of 99 US cents per share for the full year ended 30 June 2026. Currency conversions are based on foreign currency exchange rates on a single day or an average for a period of days ending on or before the Record Date, being 4 September 2026.
For the 2026 final dividend:
(i) the AUD Australian dollar currency conversion will be based on the average rate over the period commencing on 28 August 2026 and ending on 4 September 2026;
(ii) the GBP pound sterling currency conversion will be based on the rate on 4 September 2026;
(iii) the NZD New Zealand dollar currency conversion will be based on the rate on 4 September 2026; and
(iv) the ZAR South African rand currency conversion will be based on the rate on 27 August 2026[1].
The following table sets out the currency exchange rates applicable for the dividend:
Dividend 99 US cents per ordinary share | Exchange rate | Dividend per ordinary share in local currency |
Australian cents | 0.717450 | 137.988710 |
British pence | 1.351740 | 73.238936 |
New Zealand cents | 0.587430 | 168.530719 |
South African cents | 15.96480 | 1,580.51520 |
Shareholders on the Australian, UK and South African share registers who are receiving dividends in AUD, GBP and ZAR respectively will have their dividend amounts converted directly from USD at the relevant exchange rate stated above.
Shareholders on the Australian register may elect to receive their dividend in NZD, GBP or USD. Shareholders who have elected to receive their dividends in a currency other than AUD will have their dividend amounts converted using the AUD/USD conversion rate (above), before being converted into the currency of payment at the below rates[2]:
NZD/AUD: 0.818775
GBP/AUD: 1.884089
For example, a shareholder on the Australian share register who elects to receive their dividend in NZD will first have their dividend amount converted from USD to AUD, and then from AUD to NZD. The NZD/USD exchange rate and NZD equivalent amount per share stated in the table above are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual rate and amount applied.
Shareholders on the South African register will only receive dividends in ZAR.
The dividend will be paid on Wednesday, 23 September 2026.
